The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 2% · 2019 4% · 2020 2% · 2021 2% · 2022 2% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of PAWS FOR PURPLE HEARTS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Left out of every figure on this page: $1k from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest Amin Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money PAWS FOR PURPLE HEARTS raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 12 funders to its left
51% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund PAWS FOR PURPLE HEARTS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 14% · 2018 15% · 2019 17% · 2020 12% · 2021 13% · 2022 12% · 2023 14% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

Where its funders are
PAWS FOR PURPLE HEARTS draws 97% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 48 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 22 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
